Behind the Scenes with Pink

The mega-talented singer Pink has a tender—even girlie—side she's finally ready to show

Dec 17, 2009

Pink doesn't need a bodyguard. In fact, she has an entourage of exactly one—her tour manager, Nick Cua—when she arrives at a hotel in Birmingham, England (where she's on tour), for her Women's Health interview. "She can take care of herself," Cua says.

But the five-foot-three firecracker who emerges from the dressing room in a curve-cradling designer dress also couldn't be sweeter or more polite, thanking the Women's Health team for choosing her to be on the cover because "I've worked hard for this body!"

Oh, yes, that body. Should you need inspiration to break out of the tedium of your treadmill routine, you'd do well to get to a Pink concert pronto for a close-up look at the performer's fantastic new physique, as showcased in barely-there costumes. You'll leave itching to hit an all-night fitness club after the encore. But the artist behind the Cirque du Soleil-style stunts (at the 2009 VMAs, Pink sang upside down, dangling by one leg from a trapeze) is also a woman to be admired for many other reasons.

Get the complete WH interview on newsstands now and hear the kind of honesty rarely exhibited by a major star. Pink talks about the power of performing in front of thousands, enduring a yearlong separation from her husband, and how ramping up her workout helped restore her confidence. (Plus, why she'd only rate her body at a seven and a half!) Don't wait--Pink is on newsstands for only one more day!
